Sensible Atlantis Maidens Propose to Pun.

A war has begun in Atlanta against
the parlor beauX-young men who like
to spend an agreeable evening with
young ladies at their homes. but who
never ask the young ladies to 90 to the
theatcr or any other place where money
IA necessary. One young woman says.
with disgust, that young men spend
evenings in her parlor and tell her all
about tho performances they have at
tended alone.
This is u timely and wholesome war
fare. Any evening numbers of young
men may be seen ut the Milwaukee,
theaters alone, although they are
known to be society young men AMI
indefatigable parlor boauX. They go
to the theater whenever there is any
thing worth seeing, alone, although
they are able to take young ladies'.
There never was time when young
mea were so indifferent to the just
claims of young ladies. There is an
understood rule that the young man
shall make some recognition of
courtesy ut the hands OF II young lady.
but if he does this, he certainly dots
no more. There is no escaping the
conviction that the young man who is
constantly enjoying the society of
young ladies, is u very mean-spir,ted
and selfish person If no attends y thea
ter alone. There are any number Of
charming young women who do not
require that young man shall 70 to
the expense of u carriage. They are will
ing to go by street-car, or better yet to
walk, TO the theater. Any young man
with the right sort of feeling, is willing
to 90 only half as often and to take a
young lady with him.
The Atlanta girls resent their treat
ment not because of the loss of the
theater, but because of the lack of de-
cent consideration the young mon show.
1t is the indifference to one of the
plainest rights of young women. They
propose to use the cold shoulder here

men shall play tho role of grand mogul
and think II Is enough II they smile on
the young ladies of an evening in the

THE PEMMIcAN.

A Somewhat Peculiar But Important Ar
ticlc OF Food In the Northwest.
The meat cut in long flakes from the
warm carcass of the buffalo and dried
in the sun. is afterward beaten into
shreds by fails upon floor of buffalo
hide on the open prairie. The hi,le is
then scwed into bag, the meat
jammcd in, the top sewed up, all but
one corner, into which more meat il
crowded, and then the fat, which has
meanwhile been fried, is poured in
boiling hot, filling every crevice. A
species Of cranberry is often added
bolstershaped bag, as solid and as
heavy as stone, and in this condition
1t remains perhaps for years. until
eaten. Each bag weighs from one
hundred to one hundred and twenty
pounds. One who has tried ii will not
wonder that it was once used in tho
turmoils of the contests between the
Northwest and Hudson Bay Companies

We have two ways of preparing this
--One called "lub-a-boo," when il Is
boiled in great deal of water and
makes soup; the other more favorite
dish is ''rousseau, y when it is thrown
into the frying-pan, fried in its own
fat, with the addition, perhaps, of a
little salt pork, and mixed with a small
amount of flour or broken biscuit. But
sometimes, when our philosophers are
hard put to it, and forced to
take their meal In the canoe, the penn
mican is eaten raw, chopped out of the
bag with a Ratchet, and accompanied
simply by the biscuit, which has re-
ceived the sobriquet of "Red river

large rs sea biscuit, are at least three
quarters of an inch in thickness and
against them the naturalist geological
hammer is always brought into requisi-
tion.
But the "inlidel dish,'' as we termed
rousseau, is by comparison with the
others palatable, though it is even then
impossible to so disguise it as TO avoid
the suggestion of tallow candles, and
this and the leathery, or India-rubbery
structure of the meat are its chief dis
qualifications, But even rousseau may
lose its charms when taken as diet
three times a day for weeks, especially
when it is served in a frying-pan, and,
breakfast or dinner over, one sees tho
remnants with the beef or pork all
hustled together in the boiling kettle;

washed cups in the broad bag; the |
plates, knives and forks tossed into the |

ample folds of an old bit of gunny |

A CHARMING LEeEne.

Perhaps you have never heard the
beautiful legend of Fountain camp

good people of this and many other

every year when the early fall has
tinred the precocious leaves with n
matchless hue. The people meet here
to worship God in tho Druid-like tenn

which once echoed to the voice of the

USEFUL HOBBIES.
A Defense Against Depression and Wo

A Defense Against Depression and Worry
Which Is Priceless.
The tendency of American life is in
the direction of specialized knowledge.
Law and medicine have been split up
into specialties. The men who succeed
in these two professions are those who
cultivate special branches until they
same in science. Life is too short for
n man to master more than single
department Of geology or chemistry
or botany. Darwin was an exceptional
case of d scientific man, with the ideal
equipment of ample means and leisure,
who was able to range over many
fields. but all his studies were brought
to single focus upon his specially of
the origin OF species. The ordinary
man of science is forced to get his liv-
ing from his profession; hence if he is
to make name for himself he must
narrow his field of work and cultivate
it to the highest point. Such work as
this does not necessarily make man
of one idea. If he has had liberal
training, the tendency is to encourage
him to take up some hobby, entirely
apart from his profession, into which
he enters with the zest of recreation.
II matters little whether 1t is garden
ing or geometry, so long as he finds in
it the rest and recuperation which he
needs.
The great danger in American life
arises from the inability of business
and professional men to take daily rest
from wearisome routine. This, more
than overwork or anxiety, drives so
many able men to suicide or the insane
asylum or into that condition of mental
collapse which is more hopeless than
dcmentia. When man takes his
business cares home with him, broods
over them throughout dinner, rcvolycs
